Viewers were left fuming after three contestants on ITV's The Chase failed to pull their weight, leaving it to one heroic quizzer to bring home the bacon.

Brain-box Darragh managed to pull in an impressive £9,000 in the notoriously tricky general knowledge show.

The programme tests amateur quizzers against formidable experts such as the Beast, the Governess and the Dark Destroyer.

ITV's notoriously tricky quiz show The Chase left viewers raging after heroic contestant Darragh was undermined by his three useless teammates - who allowed him to do all the hard work before losing the team a third of the kitty

Viewers created a Twitter storm as they raged as the injustice of the show. Darragh's top efforts were wasted when two of his teammates lost the gang £3,000 in an effort to make their own route to the final easier. Corinne Patterson dubbed the show daylight robbery after Darragh was the only contestant to pull his weight - despite all four getting a share of the pot

Genius quizzer Darragh answered 14 of the final 19 questions - almost single-handedly defeating The Chase expert The Sinnerman

So when Darragh got the team off to a flying start, they were sure to capitalise and take home a jackpot.

Not quite.

Following on from Darragh was Michael, who opted to accept a lower £300 offer in order to get closer to 'home' - allowing him a share of the overall kitty.
